In this issue of Point of Reference, Pastor Jack Bannister opens with his own identity poem "What I Am" — a quiet, firm declaration that he is simply a follower and lover of Jesus, nothing more and nothing less. A poem by Beula Clark, "Thoughts on Psalm Twenty-Three," sets the devotional tone before Pastor Bannister walks verse by verse through the twenty-third Psalm in the main teaching "Paths of the Shepherd." He unpacks what a true shepherd does — tending, feeding, leading, cherishing, guiding, and protecting — and draws out the rich spiritual meaning of green pastures, still waters, the valley of the shadow, the table in the presence of enemies, the anointing oil, and the overflowing cup. The episode closes with a luminous paraphrase of Psalm Twenty-Three written by Phyllis Nesbitt, bringing the whole study to a deeply personal and worshipful close.
